Issues with DefaultQueryTemplates

Help
#1

A DefaultQueryTemplate I created doesn’t seem to be picked up. To refresh your memory, see the section of the User Guide’s Attributes Workshop.

I created a folder at ~/config/settings/Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/ called application_x-feed-entry for @jaidedcd’s Pogger. I adjusted the folder’s columns to show Status, Description, Feed, When.

Only, when querying for “Feed entry” && “New”, I don’t get the results in the intended column layout, but one showing Name, Location, Size, Modified. Weird, because I don’t have a DefaultQueryTemplate showing “Location” at all…

FileTypes prefs correctly shows the application/x-feed-entry type.
As a test, I created another DefaultQueryTemplate for audio/mpeg. That one works and a query for MP3s shows the defined attribute columns.

Any ideas anyone?

#2

Kinda solved the issue…

When I first tried Pogger, its files used the MIME type text/x-feed-entry. @jaidedcd later agreed with my suggestion to use application/x-feed-entry instead.

For some reason, that text/x-feed-entry seems to still hang around somewhere (though I removed all old Pogger binaries), because my DefaultQueryTemplate does indeed work when I rename it to text_x-feed-entry.

Still strange…

“When I rename it to application/x-feed-entry”, you mean?

Nothing to do with:
"@jadedcd later agreed with my suggestion to use application/x-feed-entry"?

I am a bit confused!
And, yes I saw the difference ("/")

#4

The MIME type of the feed entries changed from text/x-feed-entry to application/x-feed-entry. As explained in the linked User Guide section, the folders used for DefaultQueryTemplates are named after the MIME type, with slashes replaced with underscores.

#5

Are you on the commit that changed “text/x-feed-entry” to “application/x-feed-entry”? If that’s the case, this shouldd be fixed by updating― I accidentally left one mention of “text/x-feed-entry” in there, for file creation. Fixed it in the latest commit.

#6

I’m totally uptodate with the “Add deskbar replicant” commit. :slight_smile:

Maybe you can try and see if it works for you. Show some custom attributes in /boot/home/feeds/, then:

mkdir -p /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/application_x-feed-entry
open /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/application_x-feed-entry

Now copy/paste the attributes from the the feeds folder to the new template folder and do a query on new feed entries.

If it doesn’t work try again, this time create the text_x-feed-entry template folder.

#7

I’m stumped then, haha. A default application/x-feed-entry template seems to work on my end.

#8

OK, then at least it’s just my borked system… :slight_smile:

Additional weirdness:

  • When I just tried again (after a reboot) even the text_x-feed-entry template folder wasn’t picked up. Renamed to application_x-feed-entry, still no go. Renamed back again: works!
  • Initiating the query from the Replicant, doesn’t use the template, no matter what it’s named.

Wish I knew what and how my system got borked…
